: About Me

An experienced reporter and editor who has worked for the Economist Intelligence Unit, Foreign Trade magazine, a China business-news site and several trade publications - including CompuTrade International - I have been freelancing for the past several years, providing content for Web sites, crafting press releases and copy editing official reports and company statements.

I have edited two books and am currently working on a third, which deals with doing business and living in India.

I tend to write about business topics, especially international commerce and investing, but I have penned pieces on a wide variety of subjects, everything from Islam in Indonesia, how to erase data from your hard drive, to how much water a pelican's beak can hold.

I have written book reviews (one of which was published in Ancient Warfare magazine), articles on organic food, and travel pieces. I also currently run a Web site that offers advice to parents who have a child in a hip spica cast.

For a sample of my writing, please read my "Featured Article" below and peruse my list of "Helium Favorites."
